Welcome to the GWTW Forum.Guests (non-registered users) can view the forum but are unable to post. If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

My Frank Schwiemann Pyro - There was a 3/4 moon above the kite when I took this picture, but couldn't get the moon, kite and the contrail all in, it was awesome.

But there is an Ichiban on the way !! The Iciban has arrived !!! I think this is my new favorite. Two weeks ago at Swift Current, the Iciban and two Pyros were all that could stay in the air when the wind quit. Magnificent in the sky. One line or two, Ken builds them right.

i think i saw one at the '92 world cup in berkeley and have wanted one ever since but only seen cheap imitations. if my memory serves correct it's pretty big and the antennae wave along with the buzz which is constantly changing with the breeze.

I don't have buzzing kites, wish I did. I wish I had the Japanese ones, they're cool kites.As far as favorite SLK kite, obviously my Reprise. I'd like to get a Ichiban to go with the Reprise and stack the two. Now that would be very cool.

On a recent trip to Kauai, I packed only a few fighters and the Prism Spin Kite, all flat in my suitcase. I never got to a kite field, or even a big beach, but the Spin Kite was a hit, tied to the top of a sign behind the beach-front condo in the ~10 knot Trade Winds.
